EN: to distort, to twist (facts, truth)
This is what happens when someone tries to twist your words to make you look bad. It's the "he said, she said" drama but with extra spice. Think of politicians during a debate or your chismosa tita retelling a story—they're experts at 'baluktutin' the facts. "I said I'm on a diet, not that I'm NOT eating cake!"
From `baluktot` (crooked, bent) + `-in` (verb suffix).
Often used metaphorically for distorting truth, facts, or laws. It implies malicious intent.
